Dissent is Patriotic.

Happy Inauguration Day, everyone, especially proud dissenters who remain skeptical, though skepticism is extremely unpopular right now (and might even get you called a very special kind of bad name).

The best thing about America is its support for the marketplace of ideas, where two opposite opinions can be voiced with equal right. I will be exercising my right to dissent in about a half an hour. 🙂

Yes, dissent is patriotic. I don’t think that the lack of popularity for skepticism is less a desire to squash it and more a desire to just have a day, at least ONE day, of JOY. Most of the Obamamaniacs are thinking people at their core, and they’ll come back to that core before long.
